Four former Massachusetts municipalities were flooded to make room for a reservoir. But the villages live on in the former residents’ minds. A ShortDocs winner, from Third Coast Festival.
This town in California never did exist, though it’s full of folk who live there: an unofficial RV Park and home to the homeless thrives in culture and community.

The only thing Hearing Voices has to be careful of is over-dramatization and over-engineering. When this occurs the results are difficult to bear. Maybe a little less space music.
I have to disagree; Space music makes this show the best. Keep it up!
PS More new shows please, I need my HV fix!
